Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists treat musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, acupuncture, and movement retraining. We specialise in sports injury rehabilitation, postural correction, and chronic pain management. Treatment incorporates advanced diagnostic tools like optogait analysis to create personalised recovery plans. Patients benefit from direct access to treatment without GP referral and seamless communication with consultants when required.
Podiatry
Specialist lower limb assessment and treatment addresses biomechanical issues affecting gait and posture. Services include gait analysis, custom orthotics, and management of foot-related conditions causing knee, hip, or back pain. Our approach combines traditional podiatric techniques with integrated physiotherapy principles to resolve both acute and chronic mobility issues affecting daily function.
Pilates Classes
APPI-trained physiotherapists deliver clinical pilates focusing on core stability, posture improvement, and movement efficiency. Classes use matwork and reformer equipment to address muscle imbalances while maintaining strict safety protocols. Sessions are tailored for rehabilitation purposes and general fitness, with small group sizes ensuring individual attention and proper technique execution.
Women's Health
Specialist antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy addresses pregnancy-related musculoskeletal conditions including pelvic girdle pain and rectus abdominis diastasis. Services combine manual therapy with targeted exercise programs to maintain mobility during pregnancy and restore core strength postnatally. We also provide pelvic floor rehabilitation and ergonomic advice to support long-term musculoskeletal health.
Movement Screening
Advanced movement assessment identifies biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to injury risk. Using clinical reasoning and retraining protocols, we develop personalised programs to enhance athletic performance and prevent recurring injuries. This service integrates sports science principles with physiotherapy expertise to optimise movement patterns for both professional athletes and active individuals.

Report
I highly recommend the Versatile clinic in Carnforth. Alex and her team deliver a most professional treatment that also addresses more unusual symptoms and pain patterns. The exceptional attention to detail and Alex' unparalleled expertise integrates the treatment of the patient's "main concern" with a systematic, holistic assessment that can yield clues for accurate cause-effect analysis and sustainable recovery. I have not experienced such professional and comprehensive treatment anywhere else. Plus, the fantastic level of equipment at the clinic allows for an expert level assessment 'in one

Report
After experiencing pelvic pain during pregnancy I saw Clare and I received excellent care. She was professional, caring and has enabled me to significantly reduce pain and resume activities. The online exercise program is easy to access and use, clear communication/reminders about appointments and reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Versatile for any future physio needs and would 100% recommend.
